Make Me
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY LOS ANGELES TIMES, THE GUARDIAN, AND SUSPENSE MAGAZINE • Stephen King calls Jack Reacher “the coolest continuing series character”—and now he’s back in this masterly new thriller from Lee Child. “Why is this town called Mother’s Rest?” That’s all Reacher wants to know. But no one will tell him. It’s a tiny place hidden in a thousand square miles of wheat fields, with a railroad stop, and sullen and watchful people, and a worried woman named Michelle Chang, who mistakes him for someone else: her missing partner in a private investigation she thinks must have started small and then turned lethal. Reacher has no particular place to go, and all the time in the world to get there, and there’s something about Chang . . . so he teams up with her and starts to ask around. He thinks: How bad can this thing be? But before long he’s plunged into a desperate race through LA, Chicago, Phoenix, and San Francisco, and through the hidden parts of the internet, up against thugs and assassins every step of the way—right back to where he started, in Mother’s Rest, where he must confront the worst nightmare he could imagine. Walking away would have been easier. But as always, Reacher’s rule is: If you want me to stop, you’re going to have to make me. Praise for Make Me “Child’s Reacher series has hit Book No. 20 with a resounding peal of wisecracking glee. Everything about it, starting with Reacher’s nose for bad news, is as strong as ever. . . . The big guy’s definitely on the upswing. The guy who writes about him is too.”—Janet Maslin, The New York Times “Another winner . . . There’s a reason why Child is considered the best of the best in the thriller genre: He can take all these strange elements and clichés and make them compelling and original.”—Associated Press “A superb thriller.”—New York Daily News “Child’s complete command of the story makes this thriller work brilliantly.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “I’ve read all twenty of Lee Child’s novels. Maybe there’s something wrong with me. But I can’t wait for the twenty-first.”—Malcolm Gladwell, The New Yorker “[The Reacher series] is the current gold standard in the genre. . . . In Make Me Lee Child delivers another Jack Reacher specialty; the total knockout.”—Dayton Daily News “Child serves up wingding plots, pithy dialogue, extraordinary background on intriguing topics, and cunningly constructed suspense. But what keeps us coming back—by the millions—is the chance to walk around in the skin of that big guy in the middle of everything.”—The Oregonian “A dark thriller . . . Lee Child’s Make Me, the twentieth in his wildly popular Jack Reacher series, delivers exactly what readers have come to expect from the perennial bestselling author: interesting characters, tight plots and page-turning action. . . . Readers won’t be disappointed.”—Minneapolis Star Tribune “Jack Reacher is back. . . . Readers new to this series will find this book a good starting point, and fans will be pleased to see Jack again.”—LibraryReads (Top Ten Pick) “The reigning champ ups the ante.”—Booklist (starred review) From the Hardcover edition.

Svätá Rita - dych odpustenia
Manželka, matka, vdova, augustiniánska mníška. Sila jednej veľkej ženy, výnimočnosť veľkej svätice. Svätá nemožných vecí: tak je všeobecne známa, milovaná a uctievaná Rita z Cascie.
Okolo jej postavy sa postupom času rozvinula bohatá ľudová tradícia. Najskôr dievča, potom manželka, matka, vdova a nakoniec rehoľníčka. Počas svojho života žila evanjeliový zákon odpúšťania a tak až dodnes ukazuje jedinú cestu pre budovanie pokoja v rodine, v spoločnosti, vo svete.
S úmyslom zostať vernými historickosti faktov, avšak bez vylúčenia niečoho, čo nám podáva tradícia, autori napísali tento nový životopis.
- V úvodnej kapitole sa krátko načrtáva história Cascie a jej spoločensko - politické prostredie.
- Druhá kapitola je venovaná miestnej komunite augustiniánov, pretože svätosť Rity nemožno dobre pochopiť bez vplyvu augustinánskej charizmy.
- V ďalších kapitolách je podaný a zároveň reflektovaný jej konkrétny život, po ktorom je uvedený aj jej prvotný krátky životopis s najznámejšími mimoriadnymi udalosťami (tzv. kvietky, v taliančine fioretti).
- V závere je ešte vyjadrené a objasnené jej hlavné posolstvo odpustenia, zmierenia a pokoja, ktoré je stále tak veľmi aktuálne a potrebné.
Kniha obsahuje 16 strán farebných fotografií z Cascie.

Ve Věštné běli
Náš výbor Ve věštné běli (31 básní) se omezuje jen na básníkovu lyriku. Usiluje o nalezení průniku nejživotnější části Mallarméova básnického odkazu a šťastných překladatelských řešení. A co víc: obraz básníka tak skoupého na slovo o sobě, chce zahlédnout v zrcadlové síni výroků jeho významných předchůdců, současníků i potomků. Knihu doprovází 31 celostránkových reprodukcí děl impresionistů, Mallarméových současníků (ilustrace Edgar Degas, Albert Dubois-Pillet, Henri Fantin-Latour, Édouard Manet, Claude Monet, Odilon Redon, Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley, Félix Vallotton, James Abbott McNeill Whistler), a je vybavena rozsáhlým esejem básníka Vladimíra Janovice, doslovem univerzitní profesorky Jany Nechutové a ediční poznámkou Vladimíra Janovice

Dark Persuasion
This gripping book traces the evolution of brainwashing from its beginnings in torture and religious conversion into the age of neuroscience and social media. When Pavlov introduced scientific approaches, his research was enthusiastically supported by Lenin and Stalin, setting the stage for major breakthroughs in tools for social, political, and religious control.
Tracing these developments through many of the past century’s major conflagrations, Dimsdale narrates how when World War II erupted, governments secretly raced to develop drugs for interrogation. Brainwashing returned to the spotlight during the Cold War in the hands of the North Koreans and Chinese. In response, a huge Manhattan Project of the Mind was established to study memory obliteration, indoctrination during sleep, and hallucinogens. Cults used the techniques as well. Nobel laureates, university academics, intelligence operatives, criminals, and clerics all populate this shattering and dark story?one that hasn’t yet ended.

Annie Hall
A csetlő-botló, bizonytalan, suta manhattani komikus, Alvy Singer egy teniszklubban ismerkedik meg a vonzó Annie-vel, és a maga idegbeteg módján azonnal bele is szeret. A többi, ahogy mondani szokás, ma már történelem - mégpedig filmtörténelem, ugyanis ez a máig páratlanul népszerű Woody Allen talán legkiemelkedőbb alkotásának, az Oscar-díjas Annie Hallnak az alaphelyzete. A cinikus Alvy és az önmagát kereső Annie bontakozó kapcsolatának hol romantikus, hol komikus, hol pedig szánalmasan kisszerű epizódjai - a kirándulások, a civakodások, a közös szexuális tapasztalatok - egyszerre tükrözik és parodizálják a New York-i értelmiségi társadalom életmódját, gondolatvilágát. A történet egy szerelem tündöklésének és bukásainak neurotikus mementója, a sziporkázó poénoknak köszönhetően mégis végtelenül szórakoztató.
